Message from Rabbi Harris
I
came back fron-r schachrit (morning) scrvices at the
Conscrvativc Yeshiva in downtown lerusalem to havc an amazing
brcakfist at my hotcl. I was sitting with other rabbinic colleagues
who werc traveling widr me throughout the Ukrainc aud Israel on a
UIC Mission lvhcr-r all of the sudden, it bcgan to snow. Snow in Jemsalem makes
this ancient ciq, amazingly beautiftil. It sctdes on the streets, making the city look
more like dre Cin' of Pcace that tocl easilv cludes its realitv.
Being here, I am rcminded that the reelity hcre is fhr deeper and complex than
the headlines in thc ncr,vs. Israel rcmains vibrant, diverse, and ready to welcome all
who come. I confic'lcr-rtly r.valked thc streets, visitcd many sites, atc in restaurants)
and reconnccted witl-r Erctz Yisrael (thc Lar-rd of Israel). Those fbur days I spent in
Israel in February r,vcrc incrcdible. One of tl-rc grcat surprises fbr mc was the new
shades of lervisl-r flccs rvalking the strcets. Sincc my last visit five ycars ago, the
immigration liom around the globe to Israel has suengthened the country. While
many resources arc nccdcd to support thesc u'al'cs of immigrants, secing the melting
pot effect on thc collntry is ar-nazing. I am convinccd that, ultimately, it will energize
tl-re country as thcsc culturcs, customs, and idcas are absorbed into thc mainstream.
I was also imprresscd lvith the gror,ving prcsence of the Conservative Movement
ir-r Israel. Callecl Masorti, there are a growing nnmber of congregations in lerusalem
and around the colrntry. I spent one aftcrnoon at a Conservative congregation in

the work of
congregations around the country, Machon Schechter rvhere Israelis are being trained as Conservative Rabbis and thc Conservative Yeshiva, our presence in Israel is
growing. It is exhilarating to be able to introduce to Israelis
a substantive alternative fbr their Iewish expression.
It is easy to fbel bunkcred down by reading the news
reports. However, the reality of the challenges to dre
country are far more nuanced than a headline can capture.
It is important that we move beyond headlines to learn
abor.rt Israel. Hcre are a fbw sources for you to consider:
Ha'are@ in English -Ha'aretz is one of Israeli's major
daily papers: wwwhaaretzdaily.com
The Middle East Media Research Institute MEMzu is the most reliable translator ofArab press from
around thc regicln: www.memri.org
|erusalem Post - This is the most commonly read
English language paper in Israel: www.jpost.com
There are numerous other sources that our Israel
Action Committee works to publicize. The most
important way to connect with Israel, though, is to visit.
This summer is a perfect time to consider visiting Israel.
Teens can experience the country in one of the many
incredible summer programs. Families and singles can
see the richness of Israel on their own or with our
synagogue mission. I look fbrward to visiting Israel again
soon and am jealous of everyone traveling with Rabbi
Rudolph this summer.

recommendations to the Board for the next slate of
officers and trustees. Their work was very difficult, based
on the large number of talented people who stepped
forward for consideration. On behalf of the Board, I
want to thank all of you who have expressed interest in
serving in leadership roles for Beth El, and hope we can
involve each of you in our synagogue's volunteer work.

Message from the President
I have good news and bad news. The good news is
that I am pleased to report that the Capital Campaign
is coming to a successful conclusion. The bad news is
that the construction will be taking just a litde longer
than expected.
Don Silverstein, our Construction Committee
chairman, in conjunction with our architect, Levin/
Brown, has determined that the plans will provide
enough space to add a Metro stop to our building,
adjacent to the multi-purpose room on the lower level.
By doing so, Beth El will be able to solve both our
parking problems and also the need for extra funds
because Metro will be covering the cost ofboth a multilevel parking garage and also payrng us an annual fee.
Construction Update
The completion of the first phase of Beth El's
construction project has been greeted with excitement
and joy. Spacious new classrooms, the warm and intimate
Alan Swoff Memorial Chapel, the lovely Zal'ier Social
Hall, and much needed multi-purpose space have all far
exceeded our expectations. And in the last several weeks,
The motion to approve this addition carried
unanimously at the )anuary Board Meeting.
In negotiating our deal with Metro, several minor
problems arose, which may need further discussion. First,
we will experience some mild noise and vibration problems
in the Sancnrary. We will just have to sing more loudly.
Second, we will need to be especially vigilant to malre sure
our young children don't end up on their way to downtorvn
or Shady Grove, but we assrilne they won't be able to figure
out the Farecard machines. Third, there are several halachic
isues of people using the train on Shabbat and holidays,
but Rabbi Rudolph is looking into these. More problematic
might be a scenario whereby a passenger walks through
with a non-kosher snack, but eating is illegal on Metro.

In becoming the first synagogue in the country to

be leading the way. We appreciate your continued
cooperation during the next phase of the building
project, which we anticipate, with good weather, will
be complete by May of 2013.

The next phase - the front of the building, clergy
and administrative and offices, and bride's room - is
scheduled for completion in late March, just a few weeks
away. At that time, we will begin the "home stretch."
Barring any changes due to weather or other
delays, renovation ofthe Bender Sanctuary and Social
Hall, as well as the adjoining kitchen, will commence
in early April. From that time through late September'
our 9:15 a.m. Shabbat service will take place in the
Swoff Chap el/Zahler Social Hall, which can seat 400
people, approximately the same as the Sanctuary. The
new kitchen, direcdy behind the Zahler Social Hall,
will be available to prepare the post-service I(iddush'
which will be served in the beautiful new (and large)
Gallery space. Congregants and guests will enter the
building through the new front doors (to be completed
prior to April 2005), and proceed down the Gallery
to the Chapel. The coatroom and restrooms are easily
accessible off the Gallery. Our Shabbat morning
babysitting will be located in one of the classrooms in
the new wing. Beginning in early May, renovations
will begin in the old classroom wing (all classes will

adding an extra spiritual dimension to the room.
Finally, we may see some extra wear-and-tear on the carpets,
and some extra guests when we serve food, but we also
think this will be an opportunity to attract new members.

Splinters from the Board
by Tami Simon
During the January 25,2005 Board of Directors
meeting, Sheila Bellack reported that all financial
operating indicators are positive. We have a net surplus
of $390,477 to date, which is typical for the end of the
calendar year. The shul currendy has 927 member units.
We have submitted a request to United Bank to
restructure our loan, as discussed in previous Board
meetings. We do not have to commit to this until the
bank comes back to us with the interest rate, at which
time we can make a final decision.
Through December 3L, 2004, we have received
(cash) over $4.5 million. Of the $2 million goal for the
final phase of the campaign, we have received gifts and
pledges of almost $l.l million. The Capital Campaign
Committee is committed to raising the additional funds
needed to complete the project and help keep dues and
tuition increases at a reasonable level.
Comstruction Upd,ate, Construction is going well
and is on schedule. It is coming not a moment too
soon; replacement of the old hot water heater was done
earlier than planned because it stopped functioning last
week, and there are problems with the old boiler.
Rafrle Upd.aw, Shelly London reporred that the
February S cr o ll wtll, include an announcement re garding
the raffle fundraiser. The tickets are $100 each and
winners will be drawn at the Beth El annual meeting
onMay 24. The objective is to ner $50,000. The winner
will win travel vouchers to Israel and runner-ups will
win a variety of Israeli products.
D'tarTorah. Haz,z,an Lubin discussed the fact that
today is Tu B'Shevat (New Year for the trees - the first
day of spring in Israel) and is observed by eating fruit
from trees and having a seder. Much like a tree that stands
upright, leaders must be righteous. In last week's Torah
portion, we saw that Moses led the Israelites through the
wildemess. The people complained because ttre water was
bitter. Moses cried out to G-d, who showed him a piece
of wood; Moses tfuew the wood into the water and the
water became sweet. Moses, no matter how many times
the people complained, turned to G-d. This reflects
positively on Moses as a leader because of his faith. Here
there was the potential of conflict between Moses and
the Israelites, but instead, Moses took the ree and solved
the problem. Iraders are always challenged to tum what
is bitter into something sweet. fu a well-known sa)'rng
goes,leaders are people who do the right fftg; managers
are the people who do things right. I-et us leam from
Moses to always to the right thing.
Stoch Sale Resolwtion: The Board passed a
resolution authorizing Sheila Bellack to sell a stock
donation that had been made via a stock certificate
rafJrer than an electronic transfer to Beth El's account.
Debbie Feinstein stepped down as a trustee. We
thank her for her service.
Ed.acation and. Life I'ong lamm'ing. Iresa Fields
reported that the Education cabinet met last week. /ack
Minker put together a report of all adult courses in the
Beth El community thatwill be published for congregants
and posted on our'website. Also, Chocolate Hebrew will
be offered for the first time in the spring to the adult
B'nai Mitzvah class. The Hebrew subcommittee is
working on other ways of teaching Hebrew.
|errold Keilson summarized the letter sent to the
board relating to the dual track program. During the
last Religious School Committee meeting, a resolution
was passed to offer a dual track program, i.e., both 2
day and 3 day options for 4'h and 5'h graders. Jerrold
explained that some new information helped the
committee come to this decision. While no formal
evaluation has been done of the current pilot 2-day
program, based on anecdotal data the program appears
to be a success; students and parents believe the kids
are learning. Attendance is higher in the 2 day program
than the 3 day program. Louis Nagel supports the
dual track, and the clergy has pledged their strong
support in meeting the challenge of maintaining a
viable high qualiry 3-day program as part of the dual
track system. Arthur Popper moved that the Board
commend the Religious School Committee on their
hard work and endorse their resolutions regarding the
dual rack program. That motion was arnended to state
that the Board will do whatever it can to keep the dual
uack program functioning successfully. The motion was
seconded and approved unanimously.
Prayer and, Spiritwali.ty. Peter Novick reported
that attendance at the evening minyan is inconsistent
and that meetings being held at shul don't always break
for minyan. He is looking into possible ways of
atuacting higher attendance.
Tami Simon reported that professional evaluations
were distributed last week and they are due February.
She thanked the Board for their important feedback.

Child.ren\ Inn and, Beth El Volumteers
The Children's Inn at the National
Institutes of Health is an amazing place. The
Inn houses families with children undergoing treatmenr
at NIH for life-threatening or rare diseases and allows
parents to stay with their children during this stressful
re
time. The environment is comfortable and friendly and
even has computer rooms, TV lounges and a fantastic
playroom for younger kids.
Beth El volunteers prepare meals and serve food
buffet style the fourth Sunday of every month. \44ry
Sunday nightf Sunday is the day new families arrive so
it is the day local synagogues and churches have chosen
to provide meals. This eases the transition for new
families, weary from travel, and gives them time to
setde in without having to worry about food on their
fust night.
Nick Heffter, a dedicated Inn volunteer who
served even during the snow storm, commented, "It
gives me a lot of pleasure to help families and kids in
need." Sharon Strauss said, "I help because I can"
and Michael Strauss added, "It is a chance to give
back to my community."
Those ofyou who have donated a small bit ofyour
time know it doesn't take much to make a huge
difference. Volunteers buy or make vegetarian lasagnas,
brownies, bread, or vegetable trays and buy milk or
juice, and a handfi:I of people set up the food. One
simple way you can get involved is by organizing a
group for one night's food. Think about suggesting
this as a project to your Havurah or your child's class.
To all of you who have helped in the pasr, we thank
you very much!
Many thanks to my co-chairs, ]odi Krame and
June Falb. If you are interested in helping as a Chair
or volunteer next year, please e-mail I(atie Smeltz,
[email protected] or call 30L-23L-6062.

World Wide Wrap In Bahia Blanca,
Argentina
Thanks to our Beth El Men's Club, the Kehila of
Bahia Blanca (AIBB) had the oppomrnity ro partner
with us and participate in the Mitzvah of laying Tefillin
for this year's World Wide Wrap. In response to the
Men's Club invitation, Bahia Blanca's spiritual leader,
Hazan Andres Bomse, wrote that he was delighted to
be united in brotherhood with Beth El. He explained
that their Kehila is affiliated with FEDEC, the entity
that unites the kehilot and synagogues of the
Conservative Masorti Movement. Hazan Bomse told
us that they are not egalitarian yet, that women are
not counted for the minyan, but that girls can read
from the Torah on their Bat Mitzvah, although without
sayrng a particular bracha and without wearing a Tallit.
The Hazan also wrote that most of the men who chose
to participate in the Wrap, and who appear in the
picture, had not worn Tefillin since their own or their
sons' B'nei Mitzvah.
It is remarkable that on a hot summer day
(remember Argentina is in the Southern Hemisphere
where the seasons are reversed), so many people of a
wide range of ages gathered in a shul with no air
conditioning to partner with Beth El and to participate
in this tradition.
If you want to help the leaders of the Kehila
maintain the continuity of this small |ewish
communiry you can send a check to Congregation
Beth El and on the memo line write *World Jewry-
Bahia Blanca." They appreciate every dollar we send.
